HOW TO GROW
Sowing: To soften the hard coating on these prairie rose seeds, rub them lightly with sandpaper or soak them in 180 degrees F water overnight. Mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 4 months before planting. Sow the Rosa Arkansana seed in early spring, planting 1/2" deep. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which is notoriously slow and irregular. Some seeds may not sprout until the next year.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Most plants do not flower and produce seed until their second or third year of growth. Mature Rosa Arkansana plants tolerate drought very well and prefer dry soils; they grow well in rocky, clay, and sandy soils. These blossoms are highly attractive to bees.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Seed Saving: Near the end of the season, remove the rose hips and split them open to remove the seed. Separate the seeds from the plant material and spread them out to dry. Store the prairie rose seeds in a cool, dry place.

I have not planted these seeds yet, but I am confident they will grow when I do. Very happy with all Everwilde seeds. They have a high germination rate, and grow well for me. The seed packs always arrive on time. No complaints.
Great seeds and germination rate
Very good quality seeds there may be a little trash but for the most part seeds are in very viable germinating shape.
Excellent customer service and fast shipping. Repeat Customer
